All I Know

Lyrics

[Intro: CL Smooth] Uh Uh-huh Yeah [Verse 1: CL Smooth] I make it move like I wanna move with them horns Let 'em play with them strings, while I spit the life of kings Put a could in it, stood with it, we at it Dudes that was meant to have it, fans wanna reach out and grab it I'm just an ordinary man, with an unordinary lifestyle Seen early, I would live as a child I was conceived a mistake, but through God is really all it take For me to be born and make the Earth shake This was raised from the bottom, so before them plainclothes got 'em Soak up the four square miles to pop 'em It's me in the flesh, here to put the rumors to rest And let you celebrate hip hop's best From the womb to the tomb, hit the game real soon With a tune that's gon' take son, straight to the moon Ta-dow, see it's my turn now All competitors bow, all you sayin' is, "Wow" [Chorus: CL Smooth] All I know, is the way it gotta go And everything it take to hold me down All I see, is the way it gotta be If you came to see me hit the town This is my vibe, the way I survive And peoples can't play me out of bounds Here's my point, on a Jazzy Jeff joint Is why CL can wear the crown [Verse 2: CL Smooth] When you think about the pedigree, to own the whole catalog All I'm sayin' is, don't sleep on me dawg I really waked them streets there, schooled them young wolves CL will slay anything in his way Okay it's all about the aura I project, that ultimate connect And how you see me as a man of respect, right? So it's like a mutual agreement, all your feed is in the cement Learn the rules, let you earn your pay? Sure Nosy then you think of what it cost me To how the world forced me to kill 'em softly, baby How the music sound from the basement, and how the work bless me Who let you see the fame don't impress me, dig it? Why it's cut from a different cloth, blood to set it off Keep a real nice piece in a loft, easy Anytime you can hold ya head, then you can hold some bread And relate to what CL said, yes [Chorus: CL Smooth] All I know, is the way it gotta go And everything it take to hold me down All I see, is the way it gotta be If you came to see me hit the town This is my vibe, the way I survive And peoples can't play me out of bounds Here's my point, on a Jazzy Jeff joint Is why CL can wear the crown [Verse 3: CL Smooth] It's Jazzy Jeff on the turntables, CL on the M-I-C Philly on up to the N-Y-C And breakdances, God, tags in the trainyard Wild style fat laced, thugs locked up From a 1980's case, goons with them grown kids Used to them long bids, meet you on the dance floor Slash the visit did, a lot from the rep to And see it all makes sense, if I'm the king Then that should make you the fresh prince Send for the driver, you lookin' at the real soul survivor Like my man, J.Period mixtape, the Man on Fire Featurin' the guest that Jeff host You marvel at the up close and personal, meetin' of the minds You should read the signs, this is what reclines The thoughts in my lazy boy, fit like a hand and glove From the city of brotherly love [Chorus: CL Smooth] All I know, is the way it gotta go And everything it take to hold me down All I see, is the way it gotta be If you came to see me hit the town This is my vibe, the way I survive And peoples can't play me out of bounds Here's my point, on a Jazzy Jeff joint Is why CL can wear the crown
